"What? If I help you, you leave?" His insecurity with Jane is clear, her coming and going always tumultuous to Lloyd's emotions. "I can't just fix all of your problems, Jane. I know you helped with mine, but..." He rubs his temple. "Yes, fine. But I need some things from you, too."

“I’ve every right to be happy. To try and lead a normal life.” So, he wasn’t going to mention the pile of bodies he’s amassed in her absence. At present, he held the moral high ground. She didn’t need to know he was becoming more like her every day. “Mother has only ever done right by you. You have a short and cruel memory, Jane.” He shakes his head irritably. “Don’t bring Freddie here. Between the two of you, you’ll drive Caitlyn insane.”

"First of all," He stops. Blinks. Tilts his head. "Excuse me?" He closes the distance between them, leaning in so closely he can feel her own cigarette-tainted breath on his nose. "We love each other. And what happens in my marriage.. Has never been any of your concern." His sister has always had a way of striking his deepest wounds, able to solicit a reaction at the snap of a finger. "She's pregnant." He states, nostrils flaring as he backs up from her. "And if sex is all that mattered in a relationship, yours might actually last. Wh-re."

And then a sort of twisted smile perches on his lips. "Your daughter is visiting, actually. Perfect timing, Janie. Ready to step in as mother?"

Lloyd rubs a hand over his chin, brow furrowing with thinly masked anger. "You f-cking abandoned me, Jane. You came back long enough to have me needing you, and you left me. You have no idea what happens here when you're not around, so don't make any presumptions. These people depend on me, like it or not." He drops his hands to his hips. "Jesus! Freddie isn't coming. Do you understand? I'm not getting him head over ass into your mess."

I was going to ask if you wanted to do this now, or later, but I have my answer. Caitlyn is my wife, whether or not you like it. We have a family together.. Funny thing, family. It's not just for when it's convenient to you.
